With 10+ years of progressive post-graduate experience designing and implementing equity, diversity and inclusion initiatives in Canadian organizations from the ground up, the incoming Assistant Vice-President, Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging brings the ability to evaluate, design and implement a diversity and inclusion strategy, applying best-practice approaches in evaluating research, analyzing data, setting metrics, and fostering long-term and meaningful relationships within the University and the community to drive Ontario Tech’s culture of belonging. The successful candidate will have a university degree combined with practical, tested, real-world experience developing and successfully implementing effective EDID strategies and/or programs. A graduate degree, human resources credentials, student affairs experience, EDID studies, higher and/or K-12 education, government and labour relations experience are each valuable assets.
